Irregular periods: reflect ovulation irregularity, as long as you are not pregnant. Evaluation and treatment can help you ovulate if you wish to be pregnant. I f you are not interested in pregnancy, birth control pills can regulate and help prevent unhealthy uterine lining development

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
